I've had mine for a few months, due to the lack of padding the wood on the upper ring took the paint of my expensive vase - I've since then replaced the vase, but the wood split on the upper ring and the notches on the side post have worn down - Would love to see an upgrade of this, it's a great idea, just needed to be improved -
I like this product, i really do because it really makes my Regal Hookah look regal - I can wrap the hookah hose around it and place the handle between the hookah stem and the wooden slats as if it belongs there, and I never have to worry about tipping my hookah over - However I do have one major gripe with this product - Above all the praise i could give it there remains a significant design flaw - The problem rests with the base piece - Although most of the pieces appear to be made of multiple pieces of wood spliced together it doesn't create an issue where strength is concerned, but the base piece is where all the stress forms and should be the strongest piece - While attempting to lower the upper piece, one of the sides of the base split open from the slot out - I tried to glue it back together but that proved to be a useless endeavor - Not content with having a pile of scrap wood, I decided to fix my problem while improving upon the design - So I attached a piece of sheet metal to the bottom of the base, slots and all - It's hardly noticeable and now its rigid and built to last - Now If you are interested in buying this product I would advise to be very careful when handling it - And if you designed this product I would advise to build a better base - Either a use a denser wood b a thicker wood or c do it live! and use metal : ps: at least reinforce the damn thing its almost like balsa wood compared to my banana hands - - - -
I bought this after watching two of their product videos on their website - When it arrived I was pretty excited to see how it would work - It was a little stiff and difficult to put together at first, and I was worried that I would break it - Once I got it together with my hookah ready to go I was nothing but impressed with it - I kicked it, simulated a trip, ripped my house out, and all it did was comically slide around on my floor as if nothing was wrong - I'm actually really glad I bought this so I don't have to watch over my hookah's as closely with friends - It also serves as a great holder for tongs and hoses -
